NO Exorbitant Fees, Hefty Payments, Or Floating Charges
The plain truth is…OUR FEES ARE LOWER! Want to know why?
-
We DON’T charge a humongous, franchise fee, or any similar, up-front fee, saving you a bundle of dough right off the bat!
-
The luxury of having 35 formats to work with, allows us to spread our costs and revenue requirements over a much greater surface than the one-dimensional service providers. That in turn enables us to sell any of our formats for LESS. Less than what others, who focus solely on that one and only format, sell theirs for!
-
All of our brands are developed internally, rather than purchased at inflated prices! This strategy is another reason why we can sell ours for LESS. Less than what others, who overpay for overpriced, washed-up, unappealing brands, can sell theirs for!
-
Although more related to investment than to fees, we allow the purchase and use of refurbished equipment, saving you roughly 50 cents on the dollar vs brand new equipment.
Our lower fee structure is the reason why Smashmouthmania™’s Runnin’ Wild! We know it, you know it, the industry knows it. Nobody but smashmouth® can help you brand your business at such an incredibly LOW cost! But a dealership fee, as low as the one we’re offering right now, won’t last forever and could be limited to the next wave of new dealers, so HURRY TO SAVE BIG! And don’t forget, since you won’t be padding our pockets like you would some others, feel free to use the extra savings to change over your signage, make any other necessary adjustments, and then put the rest back in your pocket!
NO Fee Differentiation
In automobile retailing, every dealership pays the same manufacturer’s price per vehicle, regardless of whether they’re a large city dealer or a small town dealer. Shouldn’t the large market dealer, who sells more cars per month and thus generates more revenue per month, compensate for that fact by paying more per vehicle?
If that were the case, it would not only be discriminatory, but unethical. Yet some fitness brands treat their affiliates exactly that way, by forcing their large market ones, who generate more revenue, to pay more in fees. But uh, uh, that’s not the way we roll at smashmouth®, where the preferential treatment of allowing one dealer to pay less in fees than another, is NOT the way we do business. Nor would we ever penalize a dealer just for being located in a larger, more lucrative market.
Because our philosophy doesn’t differ from the automotive example above, where what’s fair and square for one dealer is fair and square for all, our dealers have the comfort of knowing they’re all on the same level playing field.
Bottom line…we charge the same for everyone, regardless of the size of their market!
NO Revenue Plundering Tactics
-
NO Revenue Funneling
Where you’re forced to dump all of your membership revenue and / or profit center income into someone else’s bank account!
-
NO Measly Kickbacks
Where they throw you a bone, after they’ve stripped you of all of your financial control!
-
NO One-Sided Revenue Splitting
Where they stuff their pockets with the lion’s share of the take and leave you with only chump change!
-
NO Backstabbing Tactics
Smashmouth® merchandise, retailed in your smashmouth® sportswear shop, is exclusively yours. Therefore, you can be sure the ONLY place it can be purchased is in your pro shop.
Unlike our competitors, we don’t backstab our dealers by competing against them, selling their merchandise off our website or through mass merchandisers. That’s just another reason why smashmouth® is The Preeminent Brand In All Of Fitness™!
NO Long-Term Commitments
With no way out of a 10, 15 or even 20-year contract, you’ll eventually regret getting stuck behind the eight ball.
Our short-term agreements allow you the opportunity to experience for yourself the power behind our brand, without becoming locked-in for an unreasonable, seemingly endless, amount of time.
But, once you begin to feel the infectious nature of your new name, start to see just how much motivation and inspiration it generates, and experience the incredible force that will allow you to bring ‘em in on Strength Of Name Alone, you’ll want a long-term commitment too!

NO Wacky, Weird Environment
Members are not micromanaged, nor is there any subjection to hideous props, quirky murals, cartoonish décor, lollipop colors, insane dress codes, a church-like, obsessively intolerant, atmosphere, or a tightly controlled, cult-like environment!
NO “This Fitness,” “That Gym” Mentality
They’re the tired, worn-out, washed-up, old, burned-out, overused terms that not only cause so many names to all look and sound the same, but are responsible for loss of identity and failure to stand out from the crowd.
It’s this very terminology that’s left owners and investors fed up, having had just about enough. They’re probably feeling, much the same way you are, that they’ve lost their identity in the overcrowded world of the this fitness, that gym mentality. But despite their frustration, they’re no longer losing any sleep over it, and soon neither will you. That’s because you’re about to join forces, as many of them already have, with the one word, the one name, that’s to fitness, what Blockbuster® is to video!
NO Soft Slogans
And let’s face it, that’s about all you’re going to get from anybody else. Even if they throw you a bone, consider yourself lucky, because one, soft slogan, is about all they’re going to give you!
But not from us. Instead, you’re going to get an arsenal of powerful, protected, pinnacle-positioning slogans that’ll give you ALL the bragging rights you’ll ever need, including: King Of All Fitness®, King Of All Boxing™, Where Beautiful Bodies Get That Way®, and Where Everyday People Work Out®. More than just slogans, these are truly trademarked facts!
NO Lack Of Identity
The gyms and fitnesses, those similar-looking, similar-sounding, identity-lacking brands that can’t differentiate themselves from one another because they all contain common, everyday terms, can NEVER make you what we can…the one word, the one name, that’s to fitness, what Blockbuster® is to video!
NO Lack Of Instant Recognition
By virtue of its own unique, distinctive identity…an identity born out of being the one word, the one name, that’s to fitness what Blockbuster® is to video...born out of being The One Word, The One Name, That Motivates And Inspires More Than Any Other™...born out of being the one word, the one name that’s associated most with working out and fitness in general...and born out of being a term everyone knows and has heard for over 20 years…smashmouth® gives you what no other upstart brand can give you, something that any new gym or fitness brand can NEVER generate – instant recognition – simply because with names that all look the same as, and sound the same as, everyone else, they lack the most important recognition creating component…differentiation!
NO Lack Of Sustained Recognition
By virtue of its own unique, distinctive identity…an identity born out of being the one word, the one name, that’s to fitness what Blockbuster® is to video...born out of being The One Word, The One Name, That Motivates And Inspires More Than Any Other™...born out of being the one word, the one name, that’s associated most with working out and fitness in general...and born out of being a term everyone knows and has heard for over 20 years…smashmouth® gives you what even established brands can’t give you, something that most seasoned gym or fitness brands have NEVER been able to generate – sustained recognition – simply because with names that all look the same and sound alike, they lack the most important recognition creating component…differentiation!
NO One-Dimensional Focus
The outdated, outmoded, business methodology of the past. Instead, you’ll be teaming up with the industry’s most diversified brand; a multidimensional, promotional juggernaut that offers a vast array of different choices, more than have ever been compiled under the umbrella of one brand before!
Because our broadened, market penetrating business model goes way beyond just fitness clubs, our brand is saturating the market like none other ever has, resulting in unmatched, unparalleled, instant, and sustained brand recognition, as well as, providing you far more potential than you could ever get from anyone else.
Along with fitness clubs our business model also includes: tanning salons, sports beverage bars, sandwich shops, sports nutrition centers, fitness equipment stores, sports specific training facilities, sports specific skills camps, and therapeutic studios. Through these 9 channels of trade, we have broken down the health, fitness, sports, athletics, and nutrition industries into 3 simplified categories: Pure Fitness, Specialty Fitness, and Personal Enhancement. Within these 3 categories are contained an unprecedented 35 distinctive formats – 18 Pure Fitness, 11 Specialty Fitness, and 6 Personal Enhancement. They range from high capital intensiveness to low capital intensiveness, and together, serve the coed, women's, men's, senior's, and kid's markets, as well as other specialized situations. Just within fitness clubs, our 29 formats are far and away, more than anyone else offers, affording you far more opportunity than you could ever get from anybody else. Such a vast array of choices will provide you with both horizontal and vertical mobility from one end of the fitness spectrum to the other, in other words, a tremendous amount of leverage.
So go ahead, see if any of the other fitness, gym, or niche chains, those one-trick ponies, with their limited mobility and one-dimensional structure, can offer you that! See if they can honestly make the same claim that we can…that, no matter what market segment you’re most interested in, no matter what’s the hottest or trendiest, we’ve got an entry to target it, and plenty more to back you up in case the bottom ever drops out!
NO Traditional Business Methodology
Most brands limit the potential of their affiliates by using antiquated business practices dating back a quarter century or more. On the other hand, we apply fresh, cutting edge principles like product differentiation, market segmentation, product cyclicity, horizontal and vertical integration, and pinnacle-positioning, all cornerstones of our corporate structure, and the likes of which the industry has never seen used in unison before.
NO Developmental Limitations
As a multinationally protected brand, with an international presence and a global perspective, we’re poised for unprecedented growth in close to 200 industrialized and commercialized markets around the world. Locations are either opening or applications pending on 6 continents, so to ensure the availability of your area, please contact us today either by phone or e-mail or click here to Contact Us.
NO Multiple Location Minimum
You can brand any of our formats with just one location.
NO Minimum Square Footage Requirement
The fact that some brands WON’T even consider your existing club or proposed location, simply because it DOESN’T meet their predetermined, minimum square footage amount, is a dilemma you’ll NEVER face with smashmouth®. Why? Because regardless of whether you have, or are planning, 1,000 square feet or 100,000 square feet…no matter what the size or format of your existing or proposed location…there’s no doubt that we’ll be able to fit you into one of our 35 different formats.
